The 10 Skills That Impress Women

Lifestyle magazines and websites occasionally publish surveys in which women explain what attracts them to certain men. These start to get infuriating because of their baffling contradictions: Some women stress the importance of emotional, doting men, while others insist it's a turn-on for a man to be independent and cavalier. They respond, in other words, with a range of entirely contradictory answers.

This isn't all that hard to understand. The truth is that women's interests and desires span the full spectrum of masculinity; they're different for every woman, and it's hard to concentrate what all women want into one or two skills guaranteed to impress every one of them. There are some safe bets, though, skills that are alternately staples of manliness and indicators of your softer side, which demonstrate that you're a complex and well-rounded guy. Some take no real skill and require only effort, while others are harder to pick up later in life, but none are impossible if you're willing to try adopting them.
